Creating a Live Streaming Resource

After logging into https://hb.cdn.net, navigate to the Dashboard, and click on your package on which you wish to add the Live Streaming resource.

Click on the "Add New Resource Button".

Select live streaming from the drop down list, then next.

Input the cdn hostname, which is the hostname from which you'll be serving the stream, then select either internal or external publishing point. An internal publishing point uses one of our live streaming cdn servers as the publishing point, and an external publishing point is used if you already have a publishing point.

If you chose internal publishing point then now you'll want to use the next section of resource creation to select which servers you'd like to use as your primary and failover publishing points. Then click "Save Changes."

Once the resource is created Navigate to the resource overview tab, and make a note of the CDN Reference ID. This will be needed to set up the live stream using the following instructions. In your setup replace resource_id with the resource ID from step 5 above.

Video Embed Instructions

Replace "mystream" with the streamname

Our easy video embed script automatically detects the browser type (Desktop or Mobile device) and loads the appropriate player. Currently, this is either Flow Player or the browser’s native HTML5 player. The streaming protocol is also set appropriately.
